Electronic Resource Materials Management System

Abstract

This Electronic Resource Materials Management System (ERMMS) is based on UNON(United Nations's Office at Nairobi) CITS(Consolidated Information Technology Service) operations. It is a tool developed in response to the new IT Security Policy which advocates for strict control of the Software Configuration Item(SCI) as a major component of the UNON IT Infrastructure .. With this IT Security Policy, it means that you cannot install any software application, operating system, drivers, e-learning applications and documentaries without being an administrator because all PCs and Servers run on customized operating system images. This information system then aims to centralize the management of all types software used for PCs, Servers, Documentaries and E-Learning materials and Documentations so as to manage them as SCI and their ultimate deployment in accordance with the IT Security Policy.
